I find it difficult to do melee's on people
also noticed a lot of people rolling about as well now?Can't see anything similar to it other than using the same font. There are still many out there that think EA Battlefront is just Battlefield with a Star Wars skin (that would be so good tho).

Its just a reskinned BF4. The game doesn't play like a game set in its era (the era of semi-autos and bolt-actions) should.
I am LTTP, just picked up the deluxe edition for PS4 along with a season bonus thingy. Anyways, this game is fucking hype yo. Rushing across the sands with a bunch of other rebels/imperials, shooting down walkers, the lasers everywhere with the Star Wars music. I really should have gotten this sooner.
Edit: I just played my first round on Endor, wow.
Edit 2: Wow I actually got MVP. I shot Vader in his stupid back too, took him down.

Supremacy/Walker Assault Jakku and Hoth are the maps that definitely give you that feeling of "holy shit, I'm in Star Wars."
...even with all the clunky gameplay imbalances
I love fighting the walkers but I feel like two is too much. I also melee killed Vader, lol. I bet that guy/girl was pissed.
Compared with the rest of the character roster, even without the DLC, I think Vader is the weakest villain to use in terms of the big maps. He can totally massacre droves of troops that decide to huddle up at an indoor control point or corridor (Got a 15 killstreak one time because of this). Out in the open though, you're more than likely to get yourself brutalized if you're playing him. You may still have a fighting chance if you're familiar with the maps' pathways and know how which abilities to use right.
What's funny is that he still seems to be the most used villain anyways, so you know people are picking him simply because it's fuckin' rad to be Darth Vader.
Every character has their advantages and disatvantages. Vader is great in close quarters, but not that great for ranged encounters. It always bothers me when my team is unable to push into a bunker to turn off an uplink and someone chooses Boba Fett just to sit up top a hill and attempt to get some kills. Morons.
Boba Fett is a great villain to use in general (when you get used to aiming with R3 for PS4 that is) but yes, I seriously hate it when people become selfish with him.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
DICE say tweaks are coming but I'm not buying the difference until I can see and feel it for myself. I'll again whine; bacta bomb is by far one of the dumbest, encounter ruining additions I've experienced in post launch content. When EA had a little talk about how they tried to focus on making Battlefront as accessible as possible, maybe to the detriment of a skill ceiling and encounter complexity, bacta bomb is the big glaring red light of where they went wrong. I'll never stop hating you, bacta bomb.
On another note I'm surprised they still haven't fixed the bug that causes frame stuttering when heroes enter the match. Makes me think a very small team is working on the technical side of things, meanwhile much of DICE is focused on getting BF1 launching solid.

Talk was that EA's servers were getting DDOSed.
Yep somethings gone wonky at EA

If it's DDOS then :/ but if it's because of BF1 then EA has something answer for, just not on.

Keeps saying now that the there is "a slow connection to the server and that this may affect my gameplay" then EA why don't you do something about it?
Also this is now constant on Bespin - Administrators palace - Sabotage as Rebel, why doesn't anybody go for "B" first, why is it always left until last by everybody? so that the Empire only have to defend one site, thus it's a impenetrable fortress!

I have 250 hours into battlefront now and I never felt the connection at all, anyone who says it's battlefield reskinned doesn't know either game.
Battlefield feels more wonky to me tho, I'm trying so hard to love BF1 but it's hard
Should be around the 20th. If you check thelive events calendar you'll notice the bespin free trial spanning 12-18 September and the double score weekend celebrating the release of the Death Star DLC from the 23rd to 25th.
That leaves a 4 day window for the expansion to drop

Who plays battlefront and loves it but just can't seem to love battlefield?
As I said above they're both so different, but I'm a fairly adaptive shooter fan... However there's something about battlefield series that I just can't quite put my finger on. Like I don't know of its the controls or how the gun play feels, but man something always prevents me from going full battlefield love

Played a shit ton of BF4 and Hardline, loved those games, but after playing the beta, BF1 isn't day one for me anymore. I'll wait a few weeks and check out impressions and get Mafia III instead.
I actually had a pretty hard transition from SWBF to BF I, but after 5-6 hours everything clicked and it was glorious. Since I played so much BF4 I didn't expect to have a hard time picking up the beta, so it was a surprising turn of events for me. Don't get me wrong, I have a list of things I would like to see changed, but none of them are major changes and I'm still having a ton of fun playing with it as is.What do you guys don't like about it?
I love it
Also, can everyone stop for a moment and give thanks for the first DICE title to launch with team balancing in like a decade! Seriously, this is huge! It even preserves squads!

It's not that I don't like it, but it doesn't give me that "day one feeling" that Battlefront gave me after playing the beta. Man, those days between the beta and release we're excruciating, but now I will gladly wait a few weeks and see how it all plays out. Definitely going to buy it at some point ;-)
On topic:
I was thinking about the PlayStation meeting today. What are the odds of seeing some upgraded Battlefront footage to show of Neo's power? Don't know if the marketing deal is still in place for Battlefront, but if I'm not mistaken, the last few big conferences Sony did all had some sort of Battlefront presence. It will also be a good moment to release another Death Star trailer and give us the release date.

It sucks. Its just Battlefield 3/4 again. Nothing feels unique or inspired about it. I mean for fucks sake, even Battlefield 1943 was more accurate and play significantly different from Bad Company 1. BF1 just feels like a total conversion mod for BF3/4.
It's interesting to see the wide range of reactions to it, some say it is way too different from past games while ones like these say it is too much like them.
^ I would say about zero %. The game already looks amazing on PS4 with (almost) flawless 60 FPS. If the game would have been 30 fps then maybe
. Maybe they'll show Battlefront VR on Neo?On the other hand it looks like we might see Mass Effect Andromeda tonight. *Dreamz*

100% no drops.
Yeah Battlefront runs much smoother then the Battlefield games due lesser players and lesser destruction. Will buy Pro if they get BF1 @ 1080p and SOLID 60 fps. Not the "60 fps" they got on consoles now.
Even if the IQ in battlefront is amazing it still will look a tiny bit better in 1080p
